This chemical reaction GIF releases the Kraken

Here at the Daily Dot, we swap GIF images with each other every morning. Now we’re looping you in. In the Morning GIF, we feature a popular—or just plain cool—GIF we found on Reddit, Canvas, or elsewhere on the Internet.

Scientists have finally discovered a way to summon the Kraken, a legendary sea monster with giant tentacles known for attacking ships.

And all it takes is some fire.

This Kraken-like creature is actually the Chemical Volcano + Pharaon Snake, a fireworks display that produces long, moving tentacles that could make a grown man squeal.

The following Chemical Volcano + Pharaon Snake GIF was created from a 3-year-old Polish YouTube video, which has been viewed more than 70,000 times. For all you science buffs out there, one YouTube commenter explained how the fireworks were created:

We've mixed two well known chemical experiments. Chemical Volcano + Pharaon Snake. Chemical Volcano is burning of NH4Cr2O7 which makes porous, green Cr2O3 as a product. Inside volcano we've hidden 4 tablets with HgSCN. This chemical burns producing N2 which is making a foam 20 times bigger than initial tablet.

On Reddit's r/ChemicalReactionGIFs, the community compared the fireworks display to Cthulhu, author H.P. Lovecraft's fictional monster with a face made of tentacles.
